Tinseltown's Landmark Sign: A Symbol of the Enduring Magic of Hollywood

In 1923, a Los Angeles real estate group unveiled a massive billboard to promote their new Hollywoodland development. Little did they know that their billboard, intended to last for just 18 months, would go on to be restored and renamed simply 'Hollywood,'and would become one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. On the anniversary of the sign's official day of dedication, Janson Media pays tribute to the Motion Picture Industry with its award-winning Hollywood Collectionproduced by Wombat Productions between 1985 and 1999.
